Does anyone here believe it’s the “woman’s job” to clean up after everyone?

Me personally I don’t believe that. I am a SAHM 9 months pregnant with 3 little kiddos already. My husband works at night and has his 22 year old brother & his gf staying with us (which I hate) his brother does not clean up or do anything at all. Our cat made a mess with his food and I made a comment about it being ...

So I’ve been giving my baby solids for about a month now and he still gags. He loves Purées and eats well with those but anything solid he gags and gags and doesn’t actually eat anything because he gets so upset he doesn’t want to eat anymore. When will it get better?

I need suggestions!

For the past two days my 3 month old son has been increasingly fussy (which is very unlike him), and not really wanting his bottles/ not finishing his bottles (also very unlike him).
